Arizona Cardinals<\/a> safety Budda Baker is a seven-time Pro Bowler and is a stud at this position. That was confirmed by coaches, scouts and executives, who voted on the top 10 safeties in the league in 2025. Baker ranked eighth<\/a> and was ranked no lower than 10th on any ballot.<\/p>\n

But if we look at the list of the top safeties, the Cardinals will face many of them.<\/p>\n

Between the top 10<\/a> and the five who received honorable mention, the Cardinals will face seven in a total of eight games.<\/p>\n

NFL safety rankings: Top safeties the Cardinals play in 2025<\/p>\n

These are the seven top safeties on the Cardinals’ schedule:<\/p>\n

Honorable mention C.J. Gardner-Johnson, Houston Texans: Week 15<\/p>\n

Honorable mention Calen Bullock, Houston Texans: Week 15<\/p>\n

The Texans have two of the top 15 safeties, although none in the top 10. The Cardinals’ safety opposition gets significantly more difficult later in the season.<\/p>\n

On the bright side, with Baker on the defensive side of the ball, it means every opponent they face will have to deal with him roaming the field.<\/p>\n
